AEW World Championship Face-to-Face: Samoa Joe & Eddie Kingston
Eddie Kingston called his shot for next week’s Winter Is Coming in Atlanta, and now he meets the champ eye-to-eye before they throw hands. Joe’s aura has smothered every challenger since claiming AEW’s top prize; Kingston’s pride won’t let him blink. Expect barbs, history, and zero respect—perfect fuel a week out from the title fight.
Continental Classic — Blue League
Jon Moxley (3) vs. Claudio Castagnoli (3)
Brothers-in-arms turned bracket-mates. Since 2022, Mox and Claudio have bled for each other—now they’re hunting the same three points. Mox finally snapped a singles skid on opening night; Claudio outlasted Orange Cassidy to keep pace. The Blue League’s top tier gets a stress test here: can the Death Riders punch each other in the mouth and dap it up after?
Continental Classic — Gold League
AEW Unified Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada (0) vs. PAC (3)
Last year, Okada stumbled out of the gate and still won the whole thing. This year? Another slow start, courtesy of Kyle Fletcher. PAC, fresh off an emphatic win over “Speedball” Mike Bailey, is stalking the summit with the Death Riders surging around him. No interference means pure, nasty technique: Okada’s surgical precision vs. PAC’s whiplash explosiveness.
Continental Classic — Gold League
“The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher (3) vs. “The Jet” Kevin Knight (3)
Two rockets on parallel launch paths. Fletcher shocked Okada near the buzzer; Knight made a statement by clipping Darby Allin in his C2 debut. First-time singles meeting, third clash overall, and all momentum on the line. Expect pace, hops, counters—and a finish that could redefine the Gold League board by night’s end.
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament — Semifinal
Hardcore Holiday Death Match: Timeless Love Bombs (“Timeless” Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa) vs. MegaProblems (Megan Bayne & Marina Shafir)
Toni Storm chose the stip as a “gift” to Mina, which is hilarious until the ornaments become weapons. Bayne’s power plus Shafir’s mean streak equals a nightmare for anyone in vintage couture. Winner punches a ticket to the final against Babes of Wrath (Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron). Expect evergreen chaos, candy-cane kendo, and a tree skirt full of thumbtacks.
🗣️ Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
- Joe/Kingston: This is the promo duel Eddie’s been owed all year. If Joe smirks and Eddie seethes, we’re cooking. Look for a pull-apart or a sly trap from the champ to tilt Atlanta’s odds.
- Mox vs. Claudio: Friendly fire is still fire. Mox’s body language in Round 1 screamed “back to basics,” while Claudio’s timing is razor-sharp. Slight lean: Claudio via sudden precision, but expect respect and bruises all around.
- Okada vs. PAC: The Rainmaker rarely drops two straight in a tour setting—but PAC is in predator mode. If Okada wins, it’ll be by dragging PAC into deep water and landing that picture-perfect exclamation. If PAC wins, it’s a sprint with a merciless snap finish.
- Fletcher vs. Knight: Steal-the-show radar is blinking. Knight’s vertical plus Fletcher’s ring IQ is a chemistry experiment we’ve been waiting for.
- Hardcore Holiday: Storm’s theatrics meet Bayne’s wrecking-ball energy. Mina’s the X-factor—if she thrives in the plunder, the Love Bombs boom.
